Saharan Dust Cloud Turns Sunset Red Over Atlantic

A vast, rust-colored haze blankets the horizon where the Atlantic meets the sky. The heavy dust cloud glows with intense crimson and burnt orange light from the setting sun. Below, the ocean surface reflects the fiery sky, rippling under humid air that hangs low after recent rain. The water appears dark and heavy, against the luminous, thick layer of dust above. Dry, cracked earth in the foreground anchors the view, showing the texture of the arid soil. The light fades quickly, leaving the edges of the cloud in deep shadow. A wet rock in the immediate foreground catches a final, sharp reflection of the red sky.
